Nothing too exciting in particular to talk about today but I thought I'd make a post since it's been a while.

If you haven't been following this thread on 2+2 then I'll have to bring it to your attention now. It's pretty freaking funny. The gist of it is that a well known 2+2'er/online poker pro has made a prop bet against a live pro who plays the 10/20nl at bellagio. The bet is that the live pro could not stay for 30 days in a standard Bellagio hotel room bathroom. To win the bet, he must stay 100% in the bathroom, only allowed to reach his arms out to open the door to get room service or let people in. He's not allowed to talk to anyone that comes to his room, but people are allowed to bring him food, books, and dvds. To entertain himself, he's only allowed a portable dvd player, books, and 10 mins of prepaid talk time on a cell phone. No laptop, no internet, no tv, nothing else.

They didn't disclose how much the bet is for, but rumors are that it's somewhere in the lower/mid 5 figures range. Oh, and the guy who's staying in the bathroom gets 2:1 on his money for the bet. So if they wager 40k, if he wins, he'll make 80k.

It got me thinking "how much would it take to get me in that bathroom for a month?"

At first I figured 1k per day might be enough, but upon thinking about it more... man i dunno. I think i'd want at least 50k on the line. I would get pretty damn bored just watching DVDs I think. Plus since I've already watched all the Lost and Sopranos DVDs, I don't know that there's anything else I'd really care to see, except perhaps Heroes.

So ya I think 50k would be my price, put up 50k to win 100k and I could mentally suffer the boredom.

They have a webcam set up so you can see/hear the room. Here's the webcam link. If you're the first person to report hearing him talk, you can win $500 from the internet pro, haha. So far there's no webcam that's set up inside the bathroom, but supposedly there are plans for it.

What a bunch of degenerates lol...
